Would be useful indeed.
We use FreeBSD a lot, and since we started using Chef I moved away
from a monolithic /etc/rc.conf to one file per service in
/etc/rc.conf.d
This somewhat reduces our need for in-place editing of files, but here
and there the requirements comes out again.

Given it's not FreeBSD-specific, I keep hoping someone will beat me to
it—otherwise at some point I'll sit down and look at it.
Maybe on the flight to the Chef Summit :)
